Missing multiple teeth or struggling with dentures can significantly impact your quality of life. At Foley Park Dental and Implant Centre, we understand the desire for a stable, functional, and beautiful smile. That’s why we’re excited to offer the All-on-4 treatment concept, also known as “Full Arch Dental Implant Treatment”
What Exactly is All-on-4?
The All-on-4 treatment is a cutting-edge technique that allows us to replace an entire arch of missing teeth using just four dental implants. This innovative method offers a number of advantages over traditional implant techniques, making it a popular choice for patients seeking a permanent and reliable solution.
How Does it Work?
The key to the All-on-4 concept lies in the strategic placement of the four implants. Two implants are placed vertically in the front of the jaw, while the other two are angled at approximately 45 degrees in the back. This angulation maximizes the use of available bone, often eliminating the need for bone grafts, and provides exceptional support for the full arch restoration.
The Benefits of All-on-4:
The All-on-4 treatment offers a range of benefits that make it a truly transformative solution:
- Fewer Implants: Using only four implants per arch reduces the complexity of the procedure and can make it a more affordable option.
- Reduced Healing Time: In many cases, patients can receive their full arch restoration on the same day as the implant placement, meaning you can leave our office with a brand new smile! While full integration still takes time, the immediate loading of the implants significantly reduces the overall treatment timeline.
- Less Invasive: The All-on-4 technique is often less invasive than traditional implant procedures, leading to faster healing and greater patient comfort.
- No Bone Grafts (in many cases): The unique angulation of the posterior implants often eliminates the need for bone grafts, which can simplify the process and reduce recovery time.
- Stable and Secure: All-on-4 provides a strong and stable foundation for your new teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
- Improved Oral Health: Unlike removable dentures, All-on-4 implants are fixed in place, making it easier to clean and maintain good oral hygiene.
- Enhanced Aesthetics: The final restoration is custom-designed to look and feel natural, giving you a beautiful and confident smile.
